G8594 14.4V Cordless Set-9-
Jig Saw
Install the jig saw blade into the jig saw.
The teeth of the blade should be pointed
forward. Remove the Allen
®
screw and
metal blade retainer tab. (See Figure 3).
Lay the blade in position with the larger
hole of the blade over the threaded hole.
Insert the Allen
®
screw, with the retainer
tab, through the blade and back into the
threaded hole. Tighten the Allen
®
screw.
Refer to the Grizzly catalog or website for
other types of blades suitable for a wide
variety of materials.
On the opposite side of the saw is a lever
which adjusts the roller which supports the
back of the blade. Adjust this lever to the
point that the roller is firmly pushing
against the back edge of the blade. (See
Figure 4).
The jigsaw base can be adjusted to cut at
an angle. Loosen the two Phillips
®
screws
and adjust the angle of the base. There is
a degree scale located beneath the base
plate. Maximum angle is 45˚ in either direc-
tion.
Transfer the battery pack to the jigsaw.
The battery snaps into the base the same
as the drill. Push the switch in the handle
so it unlocks the speed trigger switch. This
is a safety device to ensure the saw is not
started inadvertently.
Always cut to the outside of the pattern
line. Push the saw evenly at a rate suitable
for the material being cut. If the motor
should begin to slow, ease up on the cut-
ting pressure.
